    Oh dear. I almost forgot the 75% sale started a week late this year. My family and I are supposed to be going to Switzerland skiing round about the 18th. I too have £100.00 on my card from the Lancome glitch. What can I do ? I cant possibly miss it. BTW I dont ski I will just be walking and reading so perhaps they can go without me.
  • it was my first time 75% sale with boots this year and boy did i had a great time... i managed to get no 7 set for men, organic honey with the jar set, sanctuary set and S&G hatbox...well, the S&G was a really a shock to me since i missed the ootw as my sister came over to visit me around that time and i think boots brought it back again after couple of weeks and by the time they delivered it instore they were doing the 75% sale so i got it for £12.50 or £17.50... i was so thrilled as it was my first S&G and definitely not the last as i am now a convert ;)
    i wish i have live my life a little bit off the book, took a chance and gamble :whistle:
  • 1. When will it start? Nobody knows (yet)

    2. Will the website crash? - Yes!

    3. Will some stores have better/worse stock than others? - Yes!

    4. Will some people be "luckier" than others? - Yes!

    5. Will some people who have vowed never to stay up all night again, stay up all night? - Yes!

    6. Will some of us be thwarted because of illness/bad weather/unexpected problems? - Yes!

    7. Will some people (me) say "I don't need anything, so won't go, or go online", and go back on their word? - Yes!

    Wear lots of layers, cos even if it's freezing outside, it'll be tropical instore, and be prepared for buggies blocking aisle ends, people elbowing, snatching things, sweeping shelves of products, even police called (Basildon 2009!), joy, disappointment etc. etc.:eek:

    And also be prepared for calm, polite shoppers saying "after you", smiling, happy with their purchases. :)

    A good Boots 75% sale, is something to be experienced!

    Lol, thanks for putting a smile on my face. You are so right. Some shoppers do behave shockingly but then you get the nice ones like us, who just smile for being thankful for what we get lol.x

    :rotfl:Missed the one about the police being called!! Ouch....! :eek:

    Sandra - you are a gem and you really do put a smile on my face! :)
  • So I guess we just have to wait and see! I've decided that if i hit the magic stone weight loss on celeb slim by the time the sale is on I'm going to treat myself to some nice new toiletries.
  • I stumbled across (whilst looking for Smyths toy store as local store o/s must have gift) about 2 yrs ago in Beckton, E London (got lost) a Boots Clearance Store - they had loads of stuff going cheap incl prams (my 4 too old for that) but they had sun creams, xmas crackers, hair things, swimwear.... meant to go last year for a mooch around but no time... might try again this year but traffic can be manky aorund North Circular! Anyone else been??
